EINDHOVEN, Netherlands — Philips researchers are reporting significant progress in developing a new storage technology called near-field optical recording. The technology allows storage of up to 150 ...

(Nanowerk News) Led by Prof. Wei Yayi, a team of researchers from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) has achieved a significant breakthrough in enhancing the final pattern fidelity ...

Nano-optics, by bridging the gap between classical optics and nanotechnology, explores light at dimensions smaller than its wavelength. It leverages phenomena like plasmonics, near-field optics, and ...

In this paper, we investigate the use of ultra weak variational formulation to solve a wave scattering problem in near field optics. In order to capture the sub-scale features of waves, we utilize ...

Vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) is a nonlinear spectroscopic method widely used to investigate the molecular structure and dynamics of surface systems. However, in far-field observations, ...

Researchers recently demonstrated an all-electric scheme able to flexibly control the propagation direction of near-field light. Near-field light is invisible light at the subwavelength scale.

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...

When an intense laser pulse hits a stationary electron, it performs a trembling motion at the frequency of the light field.

Topological nontrivial spin textures are intriguing in various physical systems, ranging from high energy to condensed matter physics. The magnetic Skyrmions formed by a swirling magnetization in ...
